Up in Canada we call them shit hawks. I think the NRA should organize a father/son/daughter day and have the family go to the dump and blast away at them.
Man….Big “T”…. that was to FUNNY. 😆
Nugz,
That is a cool story. 8) I bet the Navy wouldn’t allow that nowadays.

NO SHOOT
SHOOT
When I was in the Navy… (89′-94′) I spent 3 1/2 years on a guided missle frigate. I went through 3 different captains, but they were all cool. The coolest one was my first captain. We had a constant problem of seagulls landing on the foc’sle and shitting all over the rails. The captain couldn’t stand this and would constanly have boatswain mates out there with brooms trying to shoo them off. What he didn’t know, but found out later was that I had, and was a damn good shot with, a pocket rocket (slingshot). He ended up commisioning me to get rid of any seagulls I saw land on the foc’sle. Good round ball ammo was hard to find, but I had an endless supply of threaded nuts. (No jokes here). I got to the point where I could stand on the bridge and pop a seagull with a nut (seriously… no jokes) from about 30-35 yards. It didn’t matter if I was on watch or not and I would hear a page over the 1MC… “Petty officer Leath to the bridge…. Come locked and loaded”. I knew right away what was needed and would grab my pocket rocket and a few nuts and head up to the bridge. I swear if he could have gotten away with it, the captain would have given me a medal for seagull removal. He would get absolutely giddy whenever I popped one. I could only do it when we were underway, because in port we could get in trouble…. but nonetheless, it was sweet pickins’.
most seaguls are protected species….theres a ton of different ones…ask neighbourg to put a lid on his garbage….or call the city and tell them he is feeding the birds
so unless you can get away with it for sure i wouldnt do it, one call to the local police and you might be in deep trouble
but we have all been there
a guy i know, shot a bunch on top of a business building, not realizing the where rollong down the roof on the other side ending up in the gutter wings sticking in every direction….the police went out there trying to catch who ever did it…only reason he didnt get caught was he had gotten the flu…so stopped shooting for a while….and then he saw the newspaper that the police had been trying to catch him lol
Got a shroud? Fire away. 🙂
I think they classify as pests don’t they? Like squirrels, if they are annoying, shoot em.

I think Seagulls should be shot on sight. What a piece of crap birds they are. When I was a kid I/we would throw Alka Seltzer tablets to them. They would pick them out of the air like a bat. Word was as kids that the AS would foam their stomachs up and kill them. 8) 8)
I can’t imagine why they are protected.
